Chapter 8: Tubo

"I'm going, it's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get there!" I couldn't help but mutter

"How do you know I'm looking for you?" I asked softly at the flamboyant Tubo sculpture.

"I see you've been wandering around the city for several times, as if you're looking for someone; And then there is Yi Tianshi, the disciple of Judge Zhong two days ago, who has already told me in advance that a young man from the yang world will come to me in the next few days. ”

"Judge Zhong, are you talking about Zhong Kui?! But aren't the four judges of the underworld the Division of Rewarding the Good, the Division of Punishing the Evil, the Division of Inspection, and the Judge Cui? So what kind of judge is Zhong Kui? I asked Tubo in confusion.

"You don't know this, the four judges that you mortals in the yang world are familiar with, and they are indeed the Division of Rewarding Good, Punishing Evil, Inspector and Judge Cui.

Zhong Kui was originally from the early Tang Dynasty, with an extremely ugly face and a bearded face, but he was good at drawing talismans to catch ghosts. The original intention was to gain fame and fame, and to use the imperial court soldiers and horses to drive away ghosts, but when Emperor Xuanzong saw Zhong Kui's ugly appearance, he was very displeased, and cut off his career with a word. Poor Zhong Kui looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, hit his head against the pillar, and died in front of the palace.

When Zhong Kui's soul returned to the underworld, he only relied on his profound Taoism to be reused by Yama, and gave the treasure of the underworld 'cinnabar judge's pen' to sweep away the evils, sentence life and death, and break yin and yang. After three years, the two worlds of humans and ghosts were finally at peace. However, Zhong Kui was suspicious and conspired by Yama because of his high merits, and the two souls and seven spirits were beaten into the Nine Shadows, and he was not allowed to be reborn. Only the third soul was hidden in the pen of the cinnabar judge, escaped, and is still in the gap between the two worlds of yin and yang.

Although Judge Zhong's Taoism has lost a lot now, the essence of the ghost and the ability to draw talismans can not be affected at all, until later, by chance, he has received Zuo Shengmei and Yi Zhuang two Taoist disciples, I heard that it seems to be very satisfied!

And we are deeply admired by Zhong Kui's own heroic justice and uprightness, so we still call him Judge Zhong in private! Just listening to the tone in which Natub said this, it was definitely full of admiration for Zhong Ju.

I see, it seems that Judge Zhong is also a hard-working person!

Since this is the case, then the previous predecessors of Yi did not lie to me, he is indeed the proud disciple of Judge Zhong Kui Zhong!

When I think of this, I can't help but feel like I'm in a different world, and I feel that everything is so ethereal, but it's real.

Just like the atheists and me, they think that ghosts are all empty and invented, but I know very well that ghosts do exist; Just like the legendary Hades and the Four Great Judges, I thought they were just myths and legends, but after I really understood the truth, I also suddenly realized that they also really existed in another dimension.

I couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Judge Zhong is also a hard-working person!" ”

Tubo then sighed, "All this has long been destined by God, although our judge pen in the underworld can outline all the good and evil and life and death in the yang world, but at the same time, we are also controlled by the Heavenly Dao of the Qing Dynasty, and the mandate of heaven cannot be violated!" ”

I nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes!" ”

After a lot of difficulty, I finally found the legendary Tubo, and of course I will not forget the purpose of my visit:

I said, "Tubo, do you know the 'Soul Water of the Underworld'?" ”

"Are you the one who came to find one of the 'Nine Objects of the Netherworld' Soul Rejuvenation Water?!" It was obvious that when Tuber heard what I said, his voice was very surprised.

I thought to myself, is it necessary for this elk spirit to be so surprised? I'm not looking for you to revive the soul water, what other purpose can I have? Although he had already identified himself as the caretaker of Tubo Youdu, I still wanted to call him 'Elk Spirit' when I looked at his statue of a tiger head, a bull's body, and three eyes.

Out of politeness and respect for Tuber, I didn't say what was in my heart at this time.

I just said, "Yes, didn't Senior Yi explain it to you?" ”

"He only told me that in two days a young man from the sun would come to me." I thought you were the last goodbye to the souls of your deceased relatives in hell! ”

Tu Bo continued, "Young man, the 'Nine Objects of the Underworld' corresponds to the nine heavenly tribulations of your short life, if you can survive successfully and collect all the nine things, then your future cultivation will be unlimited!" Listening to Tubo's tone, he became extremely excited.

I thought to myself, isn't the 'Nine Objects of the Underworld' only capable of closing the yin eyes and returning the yang to life? I, Tama, have worked so hard to find them, just so that I can live for thirty or fifty more years! Why, according to what you mean, if I really collect them, I will not only be able to increase my lifespan, but also become an immortal?

At this time, I am in the midst of my wonderful future......

"yes, pretty much what you think!" Tubo said with a smile

I was shocked

"Can you read what I'm thinking?!"

"Nonsense, I also know that you have always only thought of me as an 'elk spirit' in your heart!"

"Haha, where, where!" I quibbled with guilt.

Suddenly, I suddenly thought of the dead body I had met at the toll booth last night, and it asked me how to get to the city! But what is it doing here?

So I straightened my tone and continued, "Last night I met a dead body at the toll booth, and it seemed to say that it was also coming to Xudu!" Have you seen it? What is it here for? Does it have anything to do with me? ”

I couldn't suppress my curiosity, and I asked all the questions in my mind one by one.

"Oh, you're talking about a yin corpse, it's not a dead corpse! The corpse did come last night. ”

I thought to myself, is there a difference between this dead corpse and a yin corpse?

I only heard Tuber say again, "Of course there is a difference, and the difference is still very big." ”

Tuber paused and then continued, "The dead body is after the death of the three souls and seven spirits of the person, and he does not know that he is dead, he may think that he just had a dream of a wandering soul, so his own two souls and six spirits are attached back to his body, in this case it is a dead body." And the soul he really lost, because the body has no signs of life, it can not be returned, so it can only wander around unconsciously, or be taken back to hell by the soul envoy to register.

The Yin Corpse, on the other hand, is a demon with ill intentions who forcibly occupies the corpse of a freshly deceased corpse.

The two most direct differences between a yin corpse and a dead corpse are that a foreign soul forcibly possesses a body that does not belong to one's own body, and it is a yin corpse. And the one whose incomplete soul returns to his body is a dead body; Dead corpses basically belong to the good category, while yin corpses basically belong to the evil category. ”

"Oh, that's right! I didn't expect that the corpse after death is so exquisite! I sighed.

"Young man, you are new to yin and yang, and there are still many things you don't understand. But don't worry, you'll find out later! Tubo said unhurriedly.

"It's just that the Yin Corpse came to Yudu last night, what was it doing?"

At this time, Tubo's voice suddenly sank, and Tubo said:

"That yin corpse wants to take the soul and continue the yin life!"

"What, it still wants to live longer?! What does it do for yin longevity? I couldn't help but feel a little nervous in my heart.

"It's not a good thing anyway, but this time, it didn't work out."

Then Tubo changed the topic, and then said:

"Aren't you trying to get a clue to the Soul Water? Now your first task is to do your best to stop that Yin corpse from continuing to live long! ”

"But how can I find it? Even if I encounter it again, how can I surrender and dissuade it? I'm just a mortal, and although I have a natural dark eye, I'm also helpless against ghosts. I don't know how to subdue demons, and I don't know how to draw talismans to exorcise ghosts, so if I am asked to stop that yin corpse, wouldn't I be sent directly to death?! "When I heard what the tobber had said, I became very flustered and impatient, for I knew that I could not do it with my current ability.

But now it seems that Tuber has left

"Tubo, Tubo......" Despite my countless shouts, Tubo has no reply.

Nima, the Elk Spirit has left me like this!

When I turned around in despair, I noticed that a group of people had gathered around me at some point, all looking at me like madmen, and many people were pointing at me in the distance.

Looking at this inexplicable situation, I was stunned for a few seconds. Then I suddenly came back to my senses, it must have been my conversation with Tubo just now that they were confused, they saw that I was not only talking to myself, but also talking about something weird, and they must have thought I was mentally ill!

Okay, you elk spirit, let me perform a solo show here in front of so many people, you have embarrassed me and embarrassed, don't let me touch you again! I stared at the statue of Tubo viciously and whispered to myself.

"What to see, what to see! Scattered......" I yelled at the crowd around me, and I struggled to push through the crowd and ran away.
